Can they, though? We've got the test case in front of our face right now. Want to place some bets on anybody elected being removed before 2020?
How much you want to bet that in 2020, for the umpteenth time in a row, we get a choice between two billion-dollar-funded candidates who are absolutely not going to buck their sponsors, ever? Taste the freedom.

- yourbandsucks 7y agoFish don't know they're in water. https://sivers.org/fish https://sivers.org/fish The fact that we have the illusion of choice between candidates who will all do mostly the same things, and won't affect the bureaucracy that much anyways, doesn't make us meaningfully more free. "But my candidate had a great take on the bathroom bill controversy!", as we continue bombing weddings in afghanistan, imprisoning more people than China (!!!), etc..
